RFC Approves Huge
Loan to Britain
Rome newspapers Tuesday se-
verely scorned President Roose-
velt’s request that army draf-
tees be retained in service for
a longer period than twelve
months, and they plainly indi-
cated that should such a step be
taken the United States would
needlessly be placed upon a war
footing.
Roosevelt, in a message to
Congress Monday, urging the re-
tention of draftees, stated that
this nation is in the gravest dan-
ger of its history, and this state-
ment was borne out Tuesday
morning by General John J. Pal-

to the effect the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation has approv-

in the United States.
This loan, dispatches stated,
was given for the purpose of pro-
tecting English assets and in-
vestments in this country. With-
out it it would eventually be
necessary for Britain to sacrifice
her interests here in order to
meet her obligations resulting
from the purchase of planes and
other supplies in this country.
